Boys and Girls Club of Chico will host a holiday party for its clubhouse and teen center members Thursday. The celebration, to begin at 2:30 p.m. will include observance of Chanukah, Kwanza, Ramadan and Christmas.

Attendance is expected to exceed 300 youth, ranging in age from 6 to 18. Santa is scheduled to make an appearance and deliver gifts.

Scott McFarland, a Boys & Girls Club board member, organized the third annual bicycle drive and has been busy with bike renovations at his own workshop.

Community support poured in immediately after the call for bikes went out more than a month ago. To date, approximately 100 bicycles have been donated, and will be given to Boys and Girls Club members based on a lottery system.

While bikes are limited, every member will receive a holiday gift. New bicycles are welcome through Thursday, but because of time restraints, the club can no longer receive bikes in need of repair prior to the party.

Jamba Juice employees will pass out 400 holiday smoothies, as well as a check to the organization for $1,000. The juice company has been collecting sports equipment during the month of December to be included in the gift-giving.

Equipment donations may also be delivered to the Boys and Girls Club, at 601 Wall St. in downtown Chico, through Wednesday.
